[PRQ#42864] Deletion Request for python2-zeroconf
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python2-zeroconf [2]: This Py2 package can be deleted. Its only consumer was pulseaudio-dlna-git, but that was forked to support Py3 so it no longer needs this. (The non-git pkg for the latter is already on Py3).

[PRQ#42852] Deletion Request for libgpuarray-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for libgpuarray-git [2]: Deprecated: upstream development dead since 2019. [a] The parent Theano project also ended in Dec 2022. [b] There will be a reboot fork from the PyMC team called Aesara. Theano's libgpuarray package is not needed anymore.

[PRQ#42851] Deletion Request for python-pygpu-git
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for python-pygpu-git [2]: Deprecated Py2/Py3 VCS package. Upstream development discontinued since 2019. [a] The whole Theano project has ended in Dec 2022. [b] The PyMC team forked the Theano codebase and has created a new reboot project called Aesara. This libgpuarray package is not needed: python-theano is pending deletion and only optdepends on this. The PyMC project created an interim, updated fork of Theano, the AUR package for it is python-theano-pymc. The latter package does not need libgpuarray at all. So it is safe to delete this obsolete package.

[PRQ#42844] Merge Request for antimony
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a request to merge antimony [2] into antimony-git [3]: The stable package is abandoned on AUR since 2017. Flagged OOD since 2018. But project's last release was in 2016. [a] Only git master branch gets updates. From README.md: "Antimony is in long-term maintenance mode. It's at a beta level of stability: solid, but not recommended for mission-critical use." Therefore no new release can be expected. But the -git package can be kept alive if there is interest in maintaining it. [a]: https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony/tags [b]: https://github.com/mkeeter/antimony#try-it [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/antimony/ [3] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/antimony-git/

[PRQ#42842] Deletion Request for graceful-platform-theme
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 05 Aug '23

05 Aug '23

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for graceful-platform-theme [2]: Can't find any "Graceful Linux" distro on the web. @dingjing has these packages: -graceful-greeter -graceful-platform-theme -graceful-settings But no metapackage / install package exists. No documentation on how to create a "Graceful Linux" experience, and which desktop environment/framework is supported. (Deps show LightDM and Qt5. The latter is EOL, so the days are numbered for the compiled themes.) GitHub commit history shows most development happened in 2020 and 2021. After that, only packaging/metadata/config/comment/textlabel etc. changes were done. But all maintenance seems to have stopped in 2022. @dingjing also did not respond to packaging fix request made on AUR in 2020 for graceful-platform-theme. I reckon these packages are not useful to users. Seems like an abandoned one-person project.
